Parque Deportivo Puerta del Hierro

The Parque Deportivo Puerta del Hierro is one of the most complete sports parks in Madrid, and one of the city's biggest. With over 300,000 square metres of green on the premises, you can play golf, paddle tennis, rugby or tennis, do athletics or archery, and even go canoeing. It's well-known for its outdoor pool, which, at over 130 metres long, is one of the largest in Europe. In summer it's full of families who want to get away from the sweltering centre of town for a refreshing day out. There's a grassy area, changing rooms and a children's pool in summer. In winter the canoes and kayaks rule the water.
